Key Causes of Dry Rot

Moisture and Humidity

The damp, chilly conditions of Glasgow, Lanark & Edinburgh are ideal for dry rot.

The humid climates of these regions provide dry rot fungi with growing conditions when water is absorbed and held within building materials.

The importance of moisture control in halting the progress of dry rot fungus and protecting your home.

Poor Ventilation

Older homes, particularly in basements, crawl spaces, and attics, may have poor ventilation, causing moisture.

When this moisture is contained, the dry rot can grow and spread throughout the wooden portions of the house.

To avoid moisture damage and to protect your real estate investment, you need quality ventilation systems.

Leaks and Water Intrusion

Common applications include leaks from roofs, windows, and plumbing, due to moisture exposure, causing dry rot in the timber.

Fungal risk can be greatly enhanced by the ingress of water into wood.

It is critical that leaks are detected and fixed quickly to avoid water damage and the eventual spread of dry rot.
